The Global and Historical Significance of the Chinese Path

The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, with its grand aspirations, global embrace, inclusive cultural perspective, and track-record of success, is the only path that can lead us to the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation. But the significance of this path does not end there: the Chinese path has also shattered the global monopoly of the Western model of development, broken away from a Western pattern of history in which rising powers have always sought to dominate, and helped to diversify approaches to modernization, thus presenting a “Chinese proposal” and “Chinese experience” that the whole world, especially developing countries, can benefit from.
